Hey guys!
So... I just had my gut punched when I found out that the new present for myself (a current generation build) isn't fully supported by TrueNAS Scale. I had done tons of research and saving of money for the components themselves and I was ecstatic when it was finally built... For all of a day. After 2+ weeks of different issues the icing on the cake is I just found out that my i5-13400 can't have the iGPU utilized by Plex and that the E-cores might not be functional either. I've done yet MORE research in the last few hours relating to the 13th gen support and I'm seeing that it might not be something that happens until, at the earliest, Cobia is released. (insert sad emoji here banging his head against the desk)
My question is, as someone who is still somewhat new to Linux, could someone explain what the significance of the 6.x kernel is for Raptor Lake? Or even to Linux in general? I've read here that the 6.x kernel will allow support for Raptor Lake CPUs but I also read here that there is a chance that Cobia might not be released with the right 6.x kernel. What happens if it's not sent with the right kernel? Would iXSystems/whoeveriscallingtheshots (forgive my ignorance) release an update knowing it wouldn't be fully compatible with all current hardware? I've not been around enough with TrueNAS/Linux in general to know if that happens a lot.
And before anyone says it... I know now that my choice to buy the latest gen CPU was wrong...
Any insight would be welcome!
